Belt for fixing pelvis

Abstract

The present invention provides a belt for fixing a pelvis having a length which is adjustable to a user's physique. The belt suspends patches, made of rubber or soft pliable synthetic resin, on the right and left concavities located between the right and left projecting parts of the ilium and the right and left greater trochanter parts of the femurs.

What is claimed is:  
     
       1. A pelvis fixing belt to be worn by a user, comprising: 
       a belt member, for wrapping around a pelvis of the user, having first and second ends, an inside surface facing the pelvis and an outside surface opposite said inside surface;  
       connecting means at said first and second ends for adjustably connecting said belt member around said pelvis so as to accommodate varying pelvic circumferences;  
       first and second cushion members disposed on said inside surface of said belt member at first and second regions of said belt member corresponding to first and second concavities in a body of the user respectively located between right and left projecting parts of iliums of the user and respective right and left greater trochanter projections of femurs of the user; and  
       said first and second cushion members being configured to engage in said first and second concavities, respectively, so as to fix a location of the belt member on the user in alignment with said first and second concavities.  
     
     
       2. The pelvis fixing belt of  claim 1  further comprising: 
       said belt member including first and second belt portions having said first and second cushion members disposed respectively thereon; and  
       second connecting means for adjustably connecting said first and second belt portions such that a length of at least one of said first and second belt portions is variable to position said first and second cushion members in said first and second concavities.  
     
     
       3. The pelvis fixing belt of  claim 2  further comprising one of said first and second belt portions having a back pad on said inside surface thereof which is positionable to fit against a back of the user. 
     
     
       4. The pelvis fixing belt of  claim 1  further comprising said belt member having a back pad on said inside surface thereof which is positionable to fit against a back of the user. 
     
     
       5. A pelvis fixing belt to be worn by a user, comprising. 
       a belt member, for wrapping around a pelvis of the user, having first and second ends, an inside surface facing the pelvis and an outside surface opposite said inside surface;  
       said belt member including first and second belt portions having first and second cushion members disposed respectively thereon on said inside surface of said belt member at first and second regions of said belt member corresponding to first and second concavities in a body of the user respectively located between right and left projecting parts of iliums of the user and respective right and left greater trochanter projections of femurs of the users;  
       said first and second cushion members being configured to engage in said first and second concavities, respectively, so as to fix a location of the belt member on the user in alignment with said first and second concavities;  
       connecting means at said first and second ends for adjustably connecting said belt member around said pelvis so as to accommodate varying pelvic circumferences; and  
       second connecting means for adjustably connecting said first and second belt portions such that a length of at least one of said first and second belt portions is variable to position said first and second cushion members in said first and second concavities.  
     
     
       6. The pelvis fixing belt of  claim 5  further comprising one of said first and second belt portions having a back pad on said inside surface thereof which is positionable to fit against a back of the user.
